A SURVIVOR FROM PRIPYAT

The dead city of Pripyat

The surviver

I wish to thank Lyubov Sirota for granting me her personal permission to post a selection of her poems on this web site. The English translations are not in the public domain. I must also thank Paul Brians for putting me in touch with Lyubov. Paul explained to me that Lyubov was not in the best of health and that I might find her English limited. From the most helpful email I received in reply to my request I can only say that if her English is limited her ability to communicate is not, as one would expect from a poet of her calibre.

Read her story as told by Adolph Kharash and the poems which will bring a sense of despair and horror to every parent, to every thinking person. Particularly to every Australian at the thought of twenty five nuclear power stations on this island.
